Hardware throw down ...whats your favorite?

I'm not sure if the attached picture came through...but here is whats on my hardware list. I have these ordered from heaviest to lightest...I think...my scale is kinda crappy. The weights listed are those that my scale reads...so I apologize in advance if I mess them up.

I use everything Dutch. Because if it ain't Dutch it ain't much. My favorite are his woopie hooks, I love the Dutch Biners, The Dutch clips make wrapping the straps around the tree fast and easy. And best of all their shinny

Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.

Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

I have most of the hardware in the picture. I think whoopee's are a tool of the gram weenie but otherwise suck. Straps are faster and not that much heavier. The only place I use amsteel is on DIY hammocks though I have been know to use it for a tarp ridge. I much prefer the slightly heavier oval biners to the new shaped cross section wire gate stuff because I think they put point pressure on straps and ropes.
